Thanks so much again for the workshop last week. Everyone really liked it and we’re happy with the outcome – it verifies a lot of things and gives us a new focus.

“Great for getting the gist of Design Sprint

The Bonanza 2 days workshop was helpful to organize my thoughts in regards to Design Sprint facilitation. I appreciate how hands on the workshop was. It was cool that the workshop happened during a weekend.

Who can benefit from Design Sprint workshops

C-levels

Your enterprise is at the seed stage and you’re doing the job of a designer and product manager? Learn how to be 10x more effective and nimble while producing reliable results.

PM

You manage a product that deals with stakeholders across the board and you find it hard to reach a shared understanding of target goals? Then work together at the same time while boosting team dynamics using Design Sprint.

Marketers

Conversion rates are low or you’re not sure where to focus on your sales pipeline? Get clarity, find your focus and come up with solutions all at once. Design Sprint helps you increase the only numbers that matter: your KPIs.

Designers

As a designer, you know that the ideas must be tested but your team doesn’t value that as much as you do? You only need 4 days to show them how essential this is to producing reliable solutions. And hey… it’s fun!

Developers

You lead a team and have a say in product development. It means you deal with colleagues across the board. Your time is gold and you don’t want to spend it on endless discussions? Then learn how to cut the BS by using Design Sprint.

What’s Design Sprint

Origins

Design Thinking emerged in 1969 from the work of Herbert A. Simon on artificial intelligence. This philosophy aims at structuring anyone’s thought process by encouraging open-mindedness, problems exposure and empathy towards those affected by it.

In 2010, engineers at Google Venture wanted to leverage the Design Thinking mindset into a concrete methodology. To do so, they conceptualized Design Sprint, a timed and systematic process which aims at solving problems in the most efficient way possible.

A 5-day framework

Design Sprint was originally introduced as a problem-solving framework taking place over 5 days, with a specific theme to investigate on each day.

On day 1, the goal is to understand the problem.Day 2 is about exploring as many solutions as possible by developing and iterating creative ways.Day 3 is about prioritizing the solutions, usually 1 or 2, that best fit the problem.Day 4 consists in designing and prototyping the chosen solutions.
On day 5, the idea is to conduct 1:1 user testing with people part of the primary audience.

Why use Design Sprint?

Design Sprint embodies the saying “time is gold and focus is key”.

If your organization is looking for a methodological process which will produce the maximum effect within the least possible time-range then, Design Sprint is for you. It may be used to tackle any problems, ranging from product-specific topics to overall business strategies.
